Chapters, Tracks, Menus

Probably more of a Burning question than MM2. I've just burnt my videos
onto SVCD, and they play fine but...

There are 3 seperate videos on there, created from 3 seperate .avi
files. I can select and play each one from a crude menu screen. What I
really want is one video, that plays continuously, but that I can skip
forward and back to the different breaks if I want to. Rather like
tracks on an audio CD.

So I have 2 questions.

1. Is it possible to create the equivalent of 'tracks' on an audio CD
from a single avi file?

2. Is it possible to create one continuous movie from multiple avi files
(obviously this is possible in MM2, but if I can't do Q1 then I'd rather
not).

Thanks,
Ib.
 
It's possible to do both. You can join your mpg files using TMPGenc using
its MPEG tools. For creating "chapter" points, you can use VCDEasy,
available at www.vcdeasy.org. It's apparently not a free program anymore,
and despite its name, it's not particularly easy to use, but it can do what
you want. Note that I don't think you can create an SVCD "menu" that
references the chapter points - it's just not in the SVCD specs. For this,
you need to go to DVD.
 
Nero can do the DVD burning, but I wouldn't rely on it for converting avi to
mpeg.

Sorry, when I said can Nero do this, I meant can it add
chapter points into my mpeg file, or combine multiple
mpeg files into a single movie with chapter points?

Thanks,
